Iowa State University's annual VEISHEA celebration is scheduled for April 15 - 20. The celebration is held each spring and is one of the University's oldest traditions. VEISHEA is a showcase of the ISU community, and it is always packed with both educational and entertaining activities.
Earlier this week, the VEISHEA committee announced the musical acts for this year's "Live at VEISHEA" music event. The "Live at VEISHEA" event will be held in the Molecular Biology parking lot from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday, April 19, and Saturday, April 20.
